Crop Irrigation Is Closely Tied to Groundwater Depletion Around the World

Groundwater depletion is embedded in the international food trade, with countries exporting crops grown from overexploited aquifers and setting up potential future food crises if the aquifers run dry. From 2000 to 2010, groundwater depletion from irrigation increased 22 percent globally. Using Earth observations and models, scientists can understand and predict where groundwater depletion will be most severe.
